Ocean Temperature Risk Lecture

Join Hilary Hayford, from the University of Washington, as she presents a lecture entitled: Small movements with large performance benefits: Navigating temperature risk at a snail's pace. 

Hayford is interested in organisms that live in extreme environments and their strategies for tolerating environmental stress. Her favorite extreme habitat is the intertidal zone where organisms are both marine and terrestrial in the course of a single day. Hayford focuses her research on invertebrate behavioral and physiological adaptations to temperature and pH stress.

This is part of the Oregon Institute of Marine Biology's (OIMB) 2018 Summer Series. Hayford's lecture will take place on Wednesday August 15th, at 4 p.m. in the OIMB Boathouse Auditorium (63466 Boat Basin Road, Charleston, OR).
